Research and Development Data from various sources are used in research and development to identify new targets for therapy, understand the mechanisms of cancer progression, and develop new diagnostic tools. For example, genomic data can help identify mutations that drive cancer growth, which can then be targeted by new drugs.
Clinical Decision-Making Clinicians use data from EHRs, clinical trials, and patient registries to make informed decisions about patient care. This data helps in choosing the most effective treatment options and in predicting patient outcomes.
Policy Making Data from population-based studies and patient registries are often used by policymakers to develop healthcare policies and allocate resources. This data helps identify gaps in cancer care and areas that need investment.
